Chapter 1 The Image of Troubled Times
The Carre Mountains are the natural north-south dividing line of the Blackson Human Corridor, and also the most majestic mountain range in the Blackson Human Race Corridor. This east-west mountain range stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers. Its west side extends to the inaccessible place on the map. The uninhabited area in the wild is represented by black or gray. No one knows where it ends, and its east side extends directly to the sea.
The heavy rain for several days has covered the Kalei Mountains with a layer of fog within a thousand miles. In front of this natural moat, the rolling stream of people evacuated from the north is crowded in the northern part of the Kalei Mountains, trying to cross this moat. At this moment, in the northern part of the Kale Mountains, there are refugee camps everywhere. In the place where the most refugees gather, the tents of the gray refugee camp stretch for hundreds of kilometers. The refugees who came before have not left, and the new refugees are coming poured in...
Refugees are dying every day, some are natural disasters, some are man-made disasters, hunger, disease, cold, murder, robbery, rape are raging in the refugee camp...
Two days ago, in the port of Karle in the Ungava Federation, the westernmost part of the Kale Mountains, the defenders of the port had just suppressed a public riot. This riot caused a total of more than 50,000 deaths. die
Because of being stuck in the port for a long time and unable to leave, driven by hunger and fear, two days ago, that is, on August 27, a large number of refugees began to rush into the port of Karle regardless of order, robbing the opportunity to board the ship. People know when the bloodshed began. When the basic order collapsed, when the refugees who boarded the ship began to hijack the ship with violence, the tragedy happened.
Some policemen maintaining order were overwhelmed by surging refugees, there were serious stampede accidents, some refugees vying for boarding positions were pushed into the icy seawater, and some hijacked ship crew members were killed by refugees' daggers , the chaos in the port of Karle eventually spread to the whole city. After a 2,000-ton passenger ship Golden Pearl was manipulated by a group of refugees, it collided with another ship in the port and capsized. , The bloody suppression began.
The ruler uses iron and blood to maintain his rule. This kind of thing is nothing new, but it is even more desolate when this kind of thing happens at this time. Under the threat of the demon army, the troops of the human race are suppressing The implication of the refugees who oppressed the human race is self-evident-this is the chaotic world, the real chaotic world, all order gives way to the instinct of survival, and all axioms begin to retreat behind fists and swords .
The continuous heavy rain has not yet washed away the blood condensed in the port of Karle. The bodies of those refugees who died in the suppression were thrown into the sea by the defenders. No one cared about the lives of those people, and new refugees flooded in again. Karle city...
A large number of refugees also gather here in Gusbey of the Vedirac Union, which is more than 1,200 kilometers away from Karle. Gusbey has a "Gusbey Trail" that can cross the Kare Mountains. Those who have no means of transportation to cross The refugees in the Kalei Mountains hope to leave through this trail.
"It has entered the rainy season, and the Gusbe Trail is impassable. Many roads have been cut off. The torrents in the past two days have caused many people to die. Don't go any further. You will die if you go in like this. You can't go. Out of the Kale Mountains..." Near the entrance of the Goose Bay Trail, a Vedirac Union officer stood on a raised platform, drenched, holding a tin horn in the heavy rain, hissing Shouting all the way, preventing the refugees from entering the Goose Bay Trail.
Some refugees hesitated and stopped, while more refugees continued to enter the ancient Nanbei trail numbly and silently,
When passing the young officer, no one even looked up at the young officer.
Grief flashed in the eyes of the young officer as he watched the large numbers of refugees enter the Goose Bay Trail with a simple map in their hands. There may be less than one-tenth of the people in Lei Mountain.
In Umpton, the capital of the Free Business Alliance, more than 3,000 kilometers away from Goose Bay, more refugees gathered.
Umpton is the largest and most famous airport city and commercial city in the north of the Blackson Terran Corridor. This city and Mirbe, located in the south of the Carre Mountains, are both cities of the Free Trade Union. The two cities pass through the Carre Mountains. Cities connected by air routes support the prosperity of the entire free trade alliance.
Ampton used to operate the largest and busiest air route across the Kale Mountains in the north of the Blackson Terran Corridor. At this moment, compared to before, the air traffic volume of Ampton is more than ten times busier than before the Holy War. The countless airships flew from the south, landed in Ampton, and carried away the refugees here...
After the tragedy in Karle Port, the garrison maintaining the order in Ampton has increased to 300,000 people. Outside several airship bases in Ampton, Radu has pulled up three layers of barbed wire. , densely packed refugees crowded outside the airship bases one by one, looking up at the airships appearing in the sky, every time an airship landed, it would cause commotion among the refugees surrounding the airship base, countless people would Squeeze toward the entrance of the airship base.
"Those with a military certificate will leave first... Those with a military certificate will leave first..." The human wall pulled up by the garrison outside the airship base waved their wooden sticks in the heavy rain, unceremoniously throwing those The refugees who wanted to rush into the airship base were beaten badly. Those who held up the red military certificates were picked out from the crowd by the garrison and allowed to enter the airship base first. Leave when you arrive.
"Ah, my military certificate, my military certificate, someone took away the military certificate left by my husband..." A woman wearing a poncho and holding a five or six-year-old girl at the entrance of the airship base had a terrible expression on her face. Crying loudly, in the confusion just now, when the woman took out her military ID card and held it up, a hand stretched out from the side, and before the woman could react, she grabbed it. Take away her military card.
A crossbow arrow shot down from the arrow tower above the entrance of the airship base, and shot a man who wanted to sneak into the base with a military ID card on the spot at the entrance of the base. Qi took two steps back.
A lieutenant officer quickly came down from the arrow tower, picked up the red book from the hand of the man who had fallen on the ground and had been pierced by an arrow, and then pulled out the tearful woman in the crowd, Put the military certificate in the woman's hand, and whispered a few words to a soldier beside him, asking the soldier to personally send the woman holding the child to the base.
"Anyone who dares to snatch the military certificate will die..." The lieutenant officer looked at the refugees with a murderous look on his face.
If in the previous free trade alliance, a soldier killed a civilian at will, it would definitely cause an uproar, but at this time, no one seemed to care about such things anymore.
Not long after the woman holding the child entered the airship base, a medium-sized airship flew from the north and landed in the base for supplies in the heavy rain.
A few minutes later, the woman got a message that a medium-sized airship was leaving soon, and there was just a space for the woman and the child she was carrying to board the ship. The woman was grateful to hold her child , along with a fighter from the airship base came to the medium-sized airship.
When the woman boarded the airship, a person on the airship was about to disembark, and several people, including the captain of the airship, were sending that person off the airship very reluctantly.
"Mr. Peter, don't you need to think about it again? If you are willing to protect us from leaving, our family has discussed it. After arriving at the destination, we can pay you 2000 gold coins!" A well-dressed micro The fat man looked helplessly at the man who was about to leave the airship. The man was Peter, a young man in his twenties, with an ordinary long sword hanging on his waist. He looked very ordinary and belonged to that kind of station The kind of person who doesn't impress you too much in front of you.
Hearing this, the woman holding the child tightened her heart. She finally knew how she and her child got there. Someone was leaving the airship here. The officers at the airship base and the people on the airship She was only allowed to go up after negotiating with others. At this moment, although this thought was very selfish, she was very afraid that the man named Peter would change his mind again.
"When you get here, you are almost safe. The strength of the Demon Legion is still not here. It takes less than two days on the airship to pass through the Kalei Mountains. There is no need for me to stay on the airship! "The man named Peter waved his hand and rejected the man's proposal.
Everyone was trying to keep the man named Peter, but Peter was unmoved and declined everyone's request.
"Peter, we...will we meet again?" A blond girl of seventeen or eighteen years old appeared on the hatch of the airship, looking at the person who was about to leave the airship with admiration and reluctance. The man in the girl was hesitant to speak, but there was a kind of tenderness like water in the girl's pure eyes, which made people know her thoughts at a glance.
Everyone who sent that Peter away didn't speak, but just watched quietly, including the girl's father, who didn't speak at this time. During the two days on the airship, everyone, including the girl's father, Both her mother and her understood what that young girl was thinking—women would worship heroes and the strong, especially the kind of man who had saved her life and could give her a great sense of security in a crisis.
